This book, packed with glorious color photographs, presents the very best in street food, with images, information, and recipes for the specialties habitually prepared and consumed on the street.

How to Make Tuscan Pizza on Your Gas Grill, By Lisa T. Bergren + Giveaway!

Ok, today may just be too much of a good thing.  Before you read any further, make sure you have eaten, because if you haven't, you might just drool all over your keyboard and short out your computer.  Lisa is giving us lot of goodies today!  First she's teaching us how to make Tuscan Pizza on our grills, then she's offering us all three River of Time books for a giveaway!  So...I'll stop wasting your time :D How to Make Tuscan Pizza on Your Gas Grill By Lisa T. Bergren We first made our own pizza in Tuscany, when we discovered our villa had a wood-fired pizza oven. We burned a couple in trying to figure it out, but we soldiered on until we got it down. It was worth it. The taste of the wood and smoke perfected the ingredients, and it was just one of many fabulous experiences and sensations that made us fall in love with Italia. Back home in suburbia, we didn’t have a lovely wood-fired oven in the backyard, but we did have a gas grill. So while i...

Cooking With Amy ~ Tex-Mex Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

My family loves this recipe... Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas are so good. We cannot find this dish at any Mexican restaurant in Virginia. We are originally from Texas and this dish is everywhere. It is really good, so try it, YOU will not be disappointed. (The very end of the video is crappy. Sorry. Our good camera died.) Also, I wrote all the ingredients down that I ended up using ( scroll down) ... so go with that. ANY questions about my recipes, email me amy@readingteen.net .   Love You Guys.... ALL Our Followers..... I never measure anything so after testing this recipe while cooking it, this is my final assessment...

Amy's Favorite Summer Time Recipe ~ Bruschetta

I have never really shared this recipe with anyone. If I ever go to a function and someone ask me to bring a dish, I bring Bruschetta. Everyone loves this recipe. I usually find Bruschetta tasteless when I order it in restaurants. Please try this one, you will not regret it and tell me what you thought of it. By the way, if you want to kick it up a notch, add chunks of Mozzarella. Sooooo Good!!! Maybe if were lucky Andye will let me do a cooking post from time to time. :o)  ~   Amy Sous-chef ~ Adrien Camera Guy ~ Austin
